Question

Which description(s) is typical of a compound formed by transferring electrons between atoms? A. It is hard and brittle when solid. B.It is a poor conductor of electricity when dissolved. C. It is a good conductor of electricity when dissolved. D. It has a low melting point and a low boiling point.

Answer 1

C. It is a good conductor of electricity when dissolved.

Step-by-step explanation:

A compound that is formed by transferring electrons between atoms is an ionic compound. One characteristic of these compounds (such as NaCl) is that when dissolved in water, they become good conductors of electricity. This is why saline water conducts electricity better than pure water.
